Gallery of Dance is a Premier Dance Studio in Freehold, New Jersey since 1985. Starting in 2025, Gallery of Dance is now under ownership by Morgan and Lauren Potter. The Gallery of Dance has and will always be a family-run dance studio. We offer a wide range of recreational and competitive dance classes for students from pre-school to high school.
At Gallery of Dance, we believe in building a strong foundation of technique while nurturing artistry and movement quality in every dancer. We’re passionate about the art of choreography, the excitement of the competition world, and the joy of watching dancers shine on stage. Above all, we strive to instill both skill and passion in young, aspiring dancers—helping them grow not just as performers, but as confident and creative individuals.
About Us
Owners Morgan and Lauren Potter
From a young age, we trained in all styles of dance and competed throughout our childhood. It didn’t take long before we started choreographing for ourselves and younger dancers at our studio—something that helped spark our love for teaching early on.
We went on to continue our dance training in college and both earned degrees from Stockton University, majoring in Elementary Education and Dance (with a focus on Business and Studio Operations).
Alongside our dance careers, we’ve also been full-time elementary school teachers—Morgan teaching kindergarten and Lauren teaching first grade (as well as dance in a public school setting). We've both been teaching dance for 9 years and have worked at a number of studios across Central and South Jersey. We have experience with a wide range of ages and styles.
Our strengths include contemporary, lyrical, jazz, technique (SLT), acro, ballet, musical theatre, and hip hop. Over the years, we’ve been honored to receive numerous choreography and first-place awards, but more than anything, our greatest joy is watching dancers grow—both on and off the stage.
Dance is our passion and truly our whole world, and we’re so excited to bring that energy, dedication, and love for teaching into the next chapter at Gallery of Dance.
